What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
36π
16π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x - 3
y = -x + 0
y = -2x + 3
y = -2x + 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x + 2


3

Solve for y:
-8y + 9 < -9 + 7y

55% Answer Correctly
y < -4
y < 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
y < -\(\frac{7}{9}\)
y < 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-8y + 9 < -9 + 7y
-8y < -9 + 7y - 9
-8y - 7y < -9 - 9
-15y < -18
y < \( \frac{-18}{-15} \)
y < 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

origin

x-axis

all of these

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 24° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
128°
50°
118°
66°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 28° - 24° = 128°
